Shinigami-kun, also known as Shinigami-kun #413, is a rookie grim reaper whose job is to inform people of their impending death and to bring their souls to the spirit world upon their death.

However, because he is a rookie reaper, he has a tendency to make biased decisions toward the human side, breaking the rule of his world and causing him to get reprimanded by his superior.
